I doubt it will cost £25 Billion and more which is what Labour were planning on borrowing to pay for all their freebies and carrot dangling.

Loving all the Conservatives defending paying out billions in extra to Northern Ireland and keeping pensions triple-locked yet if Corbyn thinks of increasing spending they say we have no money tree. :confused----------

The Brexit-loving Sun newspaper is talking of a £24bn cost to the deal with the DUP so pretty equal to your wildest criticisms of Labour. Looks like Theresa May has nicked Diane Abbott's Excel spreadsheet! :D

I dont know if the sun's figures are accurate but yeah we have to remember its not just the 1 billion funding for NI, but also the cost of the pension giveaways.

I wonder where the money tree is planted.

Queenie didn't mention this in her speech, most have slipped one's mind. 8% for the Queen, 1% for the plebs.

I do Den, the least the Royals can do is to stick to the same percentage rises as Nurses and the rest of the public sector.

Nurse and public sector workers do deserve a pay rise given that their pay rise was 1% before and inflation is nearly 3% now so l don't disagree with your sentiments there.
